A perfect Beverly Hills marriage, a dead first wife, and one very suspicious housewife. I thought I knew where The Housewife was going, but this twisty domestic thriller had other plans.
An orc, a coffee shop, and a second chance at peace. Legends & Lattes: The Graphic Novel is cozy fantasy at its sweetest. Read my review and learn why I gave it 4/5 stars.
Competitive chess has never felt this scandalous. Checkmate turns ambition, ego, and one explosive cheating accusation into a nonfiction thriller that’s nearly impossible to put down.

The Story Keeper (The Midnight Estate) by Kelly Rimmer is a haunting gothic mystery about family secrets and the power of stories within stories—narrated by Siho Ellsmore. Read my review.
A Thousand Natural Shocks is a twisty debut thriller where memory is a drug, cults lurk in the shadows, and nothing—not even the past—is what it seems.
Lorne by Susan Morrison is a must-read for SNL fans! It's packed with behind-the-scenes stories, industry secrets, and a fresh look at the man behind the comedy empire.
